1. قدمت أميراً في بني الدهر آمراً

    على الدهرِ يصغي سامعاً ويطيع

    You arrived as a prince among Time’s sons, ruling

    over Time, which listens attentively and obeys.

  2. ولا عجب للشهر وافقَ مقدماً

    فكلّ زمان في حماك ربيع

    And no wonder the month coincided with your arrival,

    for every season under your protection is spring.
